1954 Operation Wetback and Trumps Immigration Stance today
What Trump can learn from Ike on Mexico ?

Eisenhower did it.

That was candidate Donald Trump’s argument for suggesting mass deportations of undocumented Mexican immigrants from the United States.


The logic of those who support deportations today is much the same as what I saw and heard in the 1950s: if we could keep out immigrants who will work for cheaper wages, there would be a greater supply of jobs available for Americans at higher wages.

According to President Trump, “Eisenhower ‘moved immigrants just beyond the border; they came back. Moved them again beyond the border; they came back. Didn't like it. Moved them way south; they never came back.’”

Gringo stems from them saying Green Go, as in the green fatigues the US had at that point. Don't know, Mexicans are hard workers and low to the ground and can endure the heat better than the Cubans.

Just take a look at Mexico's southern boarder. Obama helped them with that fence, we probably paid for it. Now how many Hondurans' do you think make it alive past Mexico City? Makes the Rio Grand choke points look like paradise.
